    tinyRN72 replied to tinyRN72's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks to both of you. I know that can not works PEDs. I solute every nurse who does because you must be an angel. My heart would just break too much. I know job changes are not good. I don't think...

  4. Combat Fatigue

    tinyRN72 replied to tropsnegRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with many of the others here... Diet and exercise, but here are some tips I haven't seen yet: 1) How much sugar do you eat? It might sound strange, but cutting sugar increases energy levels...

  5. Travel Nursing is Always an Adventure

    tinyRN72 replied to tinyRN72's topic in Travel

    Thanks! And wow! I always believed my recruiter when they said that you had to travel at least 50 miles. It never really made sense to me from a "double expenses" stand point. Thanks for all the info...

  7. Travel Nursing is Always an Adventure

    tinyRN72 replied to tinyRN72's topic in Travel

    Well, it can be hard. Some people arrange a "roommate" situation, where they have a low rent commitment, or "live with family", pay low rent, but are never there. Honestly, some, just take the risk...

    Getting the worse assignment ever shift does happen in some hospitals does happen, but not in every hospital. Shorter contracts make that easier, and I never extended in those places. Like mentioned...

  9. Do you have a side hustle?

    tinyRN72 replied to Mrsvirgomama's topic in General Nursing

    I guess the question for me would be "just in case" what? Are you worried that you won't like the job? Won't pass the NCLEX? Won't do well and get let go? As a new grad all of these can go through...

  10. Do you have a side hustle?

    tinyRN72 replied to Mrsvirgomama's topic in General Nursing

    Side hustle should be my middle name! About 10 years ago I started making candles. Then I added soap and bath and body products. I found out that I don't have the requirements to legally make body...

    tinyRN72 replied to batsek2013's topic in Public, Community Health

    Wow, you certainly have had quite a career! Thanks for sharing! When doing my community health project as part of my BSN, I worked closely with a nurse from the local health department and the United...

  12. A Day in the Life of a Home Health Nurse

    tinyRN72 replied to tinyRN72's topic in Home Health

    Sorry that you found the fake names off putting. No way I put anything that might be linked to a real patient, I meant to be funny. As PRN I still have a territory, but I'm asked "if" I will go...

  15. A Day in the Life of a Home Health Nurse

    tinyRN72 replied to tinyRN72's topic in Home Health

    Yes and yes! My office tells them that in their welcome call, but very few comply. In this area 90% have pets. Many pits, which are ok most of the time. Of course my office has 100% success rate in...

  16. New Grad BSN, RN, PHN, EMT and can’t find work. Legality of working as a CNA?

    tinyRN72 replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak from a legal point, but when I graduated I could not get a hospital job. I was offered two home health jobs. The first was the most horrible company you can imagine! The second was...

    tinyRN72 replied to tinyRN72's topic in Travel

    I have worked with other travel nurses who took the whole family. These two nurses had RVs, their spouse took care of the kids and they home schooled. It can be done. Those nurses made it a lifestyle....

    tinyRN72 replied to tinyRN72's topic in Home Health

    In regular home health it is a bit different. I mostly just do admits and discharges, except on the LPNs day off, then I will get wound care or infusion visits. Most times I don't see them enough to...

  21. Travel Nursing is Always an Adventure

    tinyRN72 replied to tinyRN72's topic in Travel

    If it happened it wasn't obvious. I mostly found that I was given every single angry, rude, confused or combative patient.

  22. Travel Nursing is Always an Adventure

    tinyRN72 replied to tinyRN72's topic in Travel

    Yes! These are also great perks of being a travel nurse. I have to admit that I find it insulting when a hospital has low expectations of travelers. I have only really seen this in one hospital. In...
